Ep 16 - Its Getting Hot in Here

The planet is warming up, and that has a lot of us panicking. But why isn't everyone? Dr. Lynette Reed offers a psychological perspective into why people care (or don't) about different causes, and shares ideas for how to inspire others to care about the environmental crisis. It can seem overwhelming to try to convince others to live more sustainably, but there is progress being made and room for hope!
